Incubating Silkie eggs

[cherieangelle]

Egg #1(first 2 pics) I thought has a blood ring, but I could be wrong.
Egg #2(pic 3 & 4) I see what I suspect is life forming but I feel like these two eggs looks completely different inside
This is my first time hatching eggs & im so excited so I’m being extra cautious lol

What day are they on? If in doubt leave them in and recheck in a few days. Good comparison pics here ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...ion-through-incubation-of-chicken-eggs.47879/

I’d wait for day 7 to check again and any I’m not sure of I will leave again untill day 14

If you candle from the air cell with egg 1 like you did egg 2 it will be easier to tell
Usually by day 10 you know for sure

I was using my brothers flashlight from work! Lol my husband ordered me a good candler & im just waiting on it to get here. The second “candler” is a paint can lid with a small headlamp as the light haha that may be why I can’t see it as good! I will post updates on day 7

I feel like this one doesn’t look right. No veins no nothing. Day 5!

Yes it does look clear but I would leave it in just incase.

This is one from the same batch & it looks like this. Is it weird that the veins look like they’re coming out of the air cell

It can be normal nothing to worry about if the veining is looking strong

I see a yoke in it! As long as it doesn’t go rotten, I’m gonna let it try to form!!!
